This is one of my all time favorite movies, and it put Oliver Stone on my list of 'Best Directors Ever,' right along with Stanley [Kubrick].

Stone...doesn't know the meaning of moderation or subtlety, and opts instead for something that is excessive and self-indulgent. It's as if he wants to shout out the statement: 'Look at what I can do! I'm an artist!'

Seeing this movie once is not enough. The first time is for the visceral experience, the second time is for the meaning.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The main problem with Killers...is that it degenerates into the very thing it criticizes.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
